Verify device owner setup

To verify the device owner was correctly setup, go to Settings >
Security > Device Administrators and confirm TestDPC is in the
list. Verify it cannot be disabled (this signifies it is a device owner).

Automated provisioning testing

To automate the testing of enterprise provisioning processes, use
the Android Enterprise Test Harness. For details, see
Testing Device
Provisioning.

Bug reports and logs

As of Android 7.0, device owner Device Policy Client (DPCs) can get bug
reports and view logs for enterprise processes on a managed device.

To trigger a bug report (i.e., the equivalent data collected by
adb bugreport containing dumpsys, dumpstate, and
logcat data), use DevicePolicyController.requestBugReport. After
the bug report is collected, the user is prompted to give consent to send the
bug report data. Results are received by
DeviceAdminReceiver.onBugreport[Failed|Shared|SharingDeclined]. For
details on bug report contents, see
Reading Bug Reports.

In addition, device owner DPCs can also collect logs related to actions a
user has taken on a managed device. Enterprise process logging is required for
all devices that report device_admin and enabled by a new log security buffer
readable only by the system server (i.e., $ adb logcat -b security
cannot read the buffer). ActivityManager service and Keyguard components log the
following events to the security buffer:

Application processes starting

Keyguard actions (e.g., unlock failure and success)

adb commands issued to the device

To optionally retain logs across reboots (not cold boot) and make these logs
available to device owner DPCs, a device must have a kernel with
pstore and pmsg enabled, and DRAM powered and
refreshed through all stages of reboot to avoid corruption to the logs retained
in memory. To enable support, use the
config_supportPreRebootSecurityLogs setting in
frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml.
